Marella

**Toe-Up Lace Sock Pattern with Slip Stitch Heel** Discover the art of sock knitting with our beautifully designed lace sock pattern, perfect for both beginners and seasoned knitters. This toe-up sock pattern features a stunning lace design that is both elegant and intricate, sure to impress anyone who sees your handiwork. With two sizes available—a 72-stitch leg and a 64-stitch leg—you can easily customize the fit to suit your feet perfectly. While we’ve included detailed directions for knitting these socks from the cuff down, we STRONGLY recommend opting for the toe-up method. By starting at the toe, you can establish the lace pattern seamlessly on the foot, making it much more manageable when you reach the tricky parts of the leg. Plus, you will find that shifting the end of the round marker becomes a breeze when the lace pattern is already integrated into the foot of the sock. As a fun piece of trivia, Marrella was the first fossil collected by Charles Doolittle Walcott from the Burgess Shale. Walcott informally described Marrella as a “lace crab,” and later categorized it as an odd trilobite. This historical nugget adds a charming connection between your lace sock project and the world of ancient fossils. **Special Offer**: Build your own eBook!
